Alexander-the-great Quote by Anonymous
“As king, your desires must be stronger than any other. You must be more magnificent, more easily angered than everyone else! He should be both pure and chaotic, a man who was more real than any other man. Only through this could your subjects be impressed by their king, and only through this would the message if I was king, such would be my wonder be imprinted upon their hearts.”
